Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s film Padmaavat (earlier titled Padmavati) has proved to be a milestone in the start of the year 2018 for Bollywood movies. The historical epic starring Deepika Padukone, Ranveer Singh and Shahid Kapoor has been a classic example of how controversy only helps in benefitting the film. But Padmaavat managed to pave its path to a great box-office collection surpassing the Karni Sena protests to the online leak of the film. Just a day after the release of the film, Padmaavat was available online for download. Though it was taken down, the searches were only about Padmaavat free download, Padmavati movie watch online free, Padmaavat Full Movie leak, Padmavati full movie download. And for those who missed out on the opportunity to watch the epic may still be searching for the film online. So, Amazon Prime has announced the acquisition on mega-blockbuster film. People can stream Padmaavat online within months of its theatrical release. So no more need to look for Torrent downloads of the historical drama.

The Karni Sena opposition and protests going around in parts of the North, did not affect but only fueled people to flock the theatres to watch the dramatic film. The film’s release was postponed but the decision only favoured the film. For those who loved the film, made sure they watched it again.

Padmaavat can be counted among the best movies for all the leads. The movie picked pace over time breaking records in its collection each week. In fact, Akshay Kumar’s ambitious film PadMan could not stand the competition. Padmaavat even did well internationally. The box-office collection of the film was Rs 540 crore globally, making it Bollywood's highest grossing movie of the year. The release time around the Republic Day weekend favoured the film even more. It continued to dominate at the box-office. From Rs. 100 crores it crossed the Rs. 300 crore mark in a month’s time. Other than critics and audiences appreciating the film, the film fraternity too was in all praises for the film.
